25 Jun 2025 DOK-ING’s Demining Systems part of Multinational Military Exercise Immediate Response 25
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE 25: DOK-ING’S TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY IN SUPPORT OF GLOBAL SECURITY
As a proud representative of the Croatian defence industry, DOK-ING participated in Immediate Response 25, one of the largest multinational military exercises conducted in Europe in 2025. The exercise is part of the broader DEFENDER 25 series, led by the U.S. Army Europe and Africa Command (USAREUR-AF), which aims to demonstrate the readiness, interoperability, and responsiveness of U.S., NATO, and partner forces.
Taking place across multiple locations in Europe, including Croatia, Immediate Response 25 brought together over 12,000 troops from Allied and partner nations to conduct large-scale joint and combined operations. The exercise included live-fire drills, cyber defence activities, river crossings, and mobility operations, all designed to enhance operational effectiveness across domains.
DOK-ING’s Role and Contribution
At Immediate Response 25, DOK-ING showcased two of its unmanned robotic demining platforms:
- MV-4 – a lightweight, remote-controlled machine equipped with a robotic EOD arm and rotary gripper, ideal for precision operations in complex terrain.
- MV-10 – a heavy-duty demining system fitted with dual FLAIL and TILLER tools, enabling rapid and effective clearance of heavily contaminated areas.
These advanced systems were integrated into a multinational operational setting, where their capabilities in force protection, terrain preparation, and safe mobility support were demonstrated in real-time scenarios. Both platforms received strong attention for their robustness, reliability, and ability to enhance mission success while minimising risk to personnel.
Supporting Interoperability and Modern Military Readiness
Participation in this exercise was not only a demonstration of DOK-ING’s engineering excellence but also a testament to our commitment to supporting interoperability among NATO and partner forces. Our systems were deployed alongside allied units from countries such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Germany, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Slovenia and the United States, proving their adaptability in joint operations and their value in integrated combat and support roles.
Immediate Response 25 also served as a platform for demonstrating future warfare capabilities. The inclusion of Unmanned Ground Systems such as the MV-4 and MV-10 is aligned with the increasing need for robotic solutions in high-threat environments. Their deployment significantly improves situational awareness, accelerates operational tempo, and reduces risk exposure.
Building the Future of Defence Technology
DOK-ING’s presence at Immediate Response 25 reaffirms our position as a pioneer in unmanned systems and dual-use robotic systems. Our mission remains clear: to develop cutting-edge solutions that serve both military and humanitarian needs, reduce risk to human lives, and support peace and stability through advanced technology.
We thank the Ministry of Defence of Croatia, the Armed Forces of Croatia, and international partners for the opportunity to contribute to such a strategically important exercise. We look forward to continuing our support for regional and global defence initiatives with innovation, expertise, and unwavering dedication.
